Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Switching Play (General Practice) In Possession

1st Segment (15 mins)

Key Factors:

The session is setup as a 4v4, but the aim is to be made in to a 9v4 when the Floater/Outside Players are utilised.

This segment will be started with;

- Unlimited Touches for all players in possesion.

- 2 Touches for Outside Players & Floater

If Defensive Team wins possession, they clear the ball & play is restarted again through the Coach.

The main aim of the session is to keep possession and try to find openings

Red Team keep possesion from the Blue Team, while using the Floater & Outside Players for numerical advantage. If available, upon receiving the ball back off of an Outside Player look to switch the play, either through the Floater to the opposite side, or direct to an opposite Outside Player.

Organisation:

In this segment of the session, each team will have 5 minutes in each position of the session.

Attacking/Defending/Outside Players

If the grasp of the session has been taken on board, add the addition of Limited Touches

2nd Segment (Scoring Option 2)

Key Factors:

Scoring Option 2:

Playing the ball through the Floater to an Attacking Player then directly out to an opposite Outside Player and back to an teammate will also score 1 point.

Scoring Option 3:

To maintain intensity from the Defending Team, 10 passes will also be an option to score 1 point.

Teams will change around on either 3 Mins or 5pts, whichever comes first.

Try to keep the session going as fluently as possible.
